FINAL CRISIS #1
Witness the historic start of the final chapter in the Crisis trilogy that could only spring from the mind of Grant Morrison — Final Crisis, featuring stunning art by J.G. Jones (52 Covers)! Worlds will live and heroes will die in this epic tale spanning the beginning and end of the DC Universe!
The entire Multiverse is threatened as the mysterious Libra assembles an army of the DCU’s most terrifying super villains. But what is the ultimate plan, and who will live to find out?
Yeah, I'm getting it. So...the Crisis is a trilogy now? Suuuuure. And I'd be a lot happier if I weren't being told that something is "historic" before the fact. But we'll see.
TITANS #2
The Titans hunt continues as all known Titans are being stalked and attacked! Can Nightwing, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Red Arrow, and Donna Troy survive long enough to discover the identity of their mysterious foe?
Yes, I'm getting this, based on the nostalgia factor primarily, but it could be good as well.
BIRDS OF PREY #118
Misfit and Black Alice are kidnapped by denizens of the mysterious Dark Side Club…only to be find out they may have a deeper connection — just as they must battle each other for survival!
"Battle each other for survival" stories got old a while ago, but I'm not ready to let this one go quite yet.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #24
As their quest to track down Sinestro Corps rings continues, the Green Lantern Corps discover to their horror that fellow Lanterns Sodam and Arisia have been captured by Mongul and subjected to the dreaded Black Mercy, causing their deadliest fears to be dragged into the light.
The plot actually doesn't sound all that good, but the book has been so far, so I'm getting it.
Waiting for the trade:
BOOSTER GOLD #9
“Blue and Gold” continues as the Justice League International returns! In a desperate attempt to correct time, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle are forced to rebuild the team that defined them so long ago! But can what's left of the JLI stop Max Lord and save the world from his O.M.A.C.s?
I do like my TPBs of the JLI era--probably the most frequently reread things on the shelf we've got devoted to trades--so I almost thought about ordering this in floppy form. Might have done if it weren't so far into the series already.

I have to admit that Booster Gold sounds sensational. I'll do just about anything to be able to get the Band back together.
The others sound pretty good, although I have my doubts about the Teen Titans. What...no Wally?
If only there were a way they could bring Max back without confusing people. :)
Maybe they'll bring Wally in later?
"the stunning return of a force for good" i'm crossing my fingers that it's ralph dibny.
I'm pretty sure Wally's on the team.
